Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a facility for removing layers that are electro-deposited onto cathodes, and is particularly applicable to the situation where metals, such as copper and zinc, are deposited by electrolysis.
  • the present invention relates to the type of facility that includes an area for the reception of cathodes coming from the electrolytic vats, a cathode treatment area, and a storage area for cathodes free from the electrolytic metal layer.
  • the cathodes may be moved consecutively from one of these areas to the other.
  • the treatment area includes apparatus to wash the cathodes and to remove the electro-deposited metal layers.
  • the apparatus for washing the cathodes are stationary water jets directed at the cathodes.
  • the operation to remove the electro-deposited metal layers are carried out in two successive operations. In the first operation, the upper edge of the electro-deposited layer is separated from the cathode plate, and in the second operation the cathode plates are totally separated from the electro-deposited layers.
  • a penetrator is used in the first operation to separate the upper edge of the electro-deposited layer from the cathode plate, and in the second operation are used to totally remove the electro-deposited layer from the cathode.
  • a facility of this type is described, for example, in Spanish Patent No. 2020729 by the applicants of the present invention.
  • the electrolytic deposition of copper is described in Spanish Patent No. 2005573, of MIM Technology Marketing Ltd.
  • the first stage of separation proceeds by subjecting the cathode to bending so as to enable at least part of the electro-deposited metal layer to separate from the cathode.
  • the electro-deposited layer is completely removed by the use of claws or gas jets.
  • An object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantage of previously known facility for removal of electro-deposited metal layers on cathodes.
  • Another object of the facility of the present invention is to effect the separation of electro-deposited deposited metal layers from a cathode, by a continuous process involving one stage or operation and requiring the use of only one extraction unit.
  • a further object of the present invention is a facility that allows the full separation of the electro-deposited metal layers from cathode plates without damaging the cathode plate or the protection on its edges.

  • the claws include a wedge-shaped vertical section. These claws are furthermore capable of tilting between a cathode approximation position in which the internal surface of the wedge-shaped areas is parallel to the cathode plate, and a separation position in which the internal surface comes off the cathode plate. Both the claws and the tilting arms are actuated by pneumatic cylinders.
  • the internal surface of the wedge shaped area of the claws ends up close to the cathode plate without leaning thereon, whenever the bracket is at its upper limiting position and the tilting arms are towards the maximum bar approximation position and the claws tilt towards the cathode maximum approximation position.
  • the extraction apparatus also includes two upper rollers, parallel to the bars on which the claws are set.
  • the rollers are located above the claws.
  • the rollers are mounted so that they are capable of turning freely between pairs of arms articulated by their lower end to the bracket.

  • the chamber 23 has at its sides plastic wheels 24, with sealed ball bearings, to guide the chamber 23 along the guide 21 of the gantries, see FIG. 3. Attached to wheels 24 are linear displacement elements of the driving system 22, which also extend along the guides 21.
  • the washing chamber 23 has internally mounted, along its front and rear walls, two rows of spraying nozzles 25.
  • Spray nozzles 25 are mounted to the walls so that they can change the angle upon which they project a hot water stream on the cathodes introduced into the chamber 23.
  • the opening on the top of chamber 23 is fitted with a system of flexible closing sheets 26 that allow the entry of the cathode plates and prevent the exit of water from inside the chamber 23
  • This closing mechanism of washing apparatus 15 may comprise a curtain of very flexible plastic threads.
  • Water is fed to the chamber 23 by flexible hoses, and the chamber 23 also includes a steam extraction system 27 connected at its upper portion to suction slots. Chamber 23 further includes pipes 28 to empty the cleaning water.
  • FIG. 8 and 9 illustrate the extraction apparatus 16, which includes a bracket 29 defining a vertical passage dimensioned to encompass a cathode, and a guiding mechanism with plastic wheels 30 of the same construction and function as the wheels 24 described with respect to the washing chamber 23.
  • each arm 31 On the upper side of the bracket 29 are positioned, on each side of the vertical passage, two arms 31 that pivot about a turning axis 32.
  • the rotation of axis 32 is controlled by a pneumatic cylinder 33.
  • a bar 34 Between the arms 31 and extending from each arm 31 is a bar 34 parallel to axis 32.
  • On each bar 34 are disposed, so that they may freely turn, two vertical claws 35 and a central coaxial roller 36, which functions as a separation element for the claws 35.
  • the roller 36 has a side surface which sticks out beyond the claws 35 at the side aimed towards the opposite roller.
  • the claws 35 may tilt about bar 34, and is actuated by the hydraulic cylinders 37.
  • the bracket 29 also includes free turning upper roller 38, mounted upon the upper end of arms 39, see FIG. 10.
  • the arms 39 are pivotable at their lower end to panels 40 which extend between the arms 31, and are pivotable by actuation of the hydraulic cylinders 41.
  • a plurality of cathodes are carried by a crane bridge, for example, and are positioned upon the beams 4 in the reception area 1.
  • the first cathode is moved using the cathode positioning and driving element 5 to a position coincidence with the gantry 13.
  • Hot water feeding is then activated through the nozzles 25 of the washing chamber 23 and the chamber 23 is moved up and down through guides 21 so that a water spray from washing chamber 23 uniformly, and at a constant pressure, covers the surfaces of the cathode. This action ensuring uniform and total cleaning of the cathode.
  • the arrangement and orientation of the nozzles 25 is such that the cathode ends up being fully cleaned, including its header.
  • the cathode When washing chamber 23 reaches its lower limiting position, the cathode is transferred to the second gantry 14, by action of the cathode moving and positioning element 1 . At that time the bracket 29 starts to rise, guided by the rollers 30 and with the arms 31 and 39 in their open position, as shown in FIG. 10. During this operation, the cathode 42 is introduced into the bracket 29 when the bracket 29 reaches its upper limiting position. At this point, the claws 35 are located above the upper edge of the electro-deposited metal layers 43 of cathode 42. From that moment on, the cylinders 33 are activated so that the arms 31 and panels 40 occupy the position shown in FIG. 11. At this point, the claws 35 are near the cathode 42 and the rollers 36 are supported upon the plate of the cathode 42, immediately above the upper edge of the electro-deposited layers 43.
  • the claws 35 include a wedge shaped section 44, having an angled edge parallel to the cathode plate 42.
  • the internal surface of the wedge shaped section 44 is parallel to the cathode plate 42 and is slightly separate from it.
  • the claws 35 may include with a plastic protection device 45.
  • the angled edge of the section 44 is subjected to an anti-wear treatment, to enable the angled edge to withstand a high number of working cycles without showing any appreciable wear.
  • the positioning of the rollers 36 ensures the correct positioning of both of the cathode and of the claws 35 with respect to it.
  • the distance between the angled edge of the electro-deposited layers 44 may be adjusted by regulating the position of the plate 46 which supports the claw 35.
  • the bracket 29 initiates a lowering movement, with the rollers 36 turning freely in contact with the plate of the cathode 42 and, therefore, maintaining the relative position of the claws 35 in respect to the cathode 42.
  • FIG. 13 shows the beginning of the lowering of the bracket 29.
  • the angled edge of the wedge shaped section 44 contact the upper edge of the electro-deposited layer 43, causing a penetration by the angled edge and the initial separation of the electro-deposited layer 43. All of this operation is shown in FIG. 13.
  • the various cylinders maintain their above-described position and the bracket 29 continues to lower, resulting in the complete separation of the electro-deposited layer 43 from the cathode plate 42.
  • a certain torque is caused between the free turning rollers 38 and the claws 35, Which tends to peel off the lower portion of the electro-deposited layers 43, without the necessity for the claws 35 and rollers 36 to reach the lower edge of the cathode 42.
  • the layers 43 separated from the cathode 42 are held between the rollers 38 and the claws 35.
  • the claws 35 do not contact directly the cathode plate 42, thus preventing any metal to metal contact that may damage the surfaces of the cathode plate 42.
  • the cylinders 33 are retracted, which cause an outward tilt of the arms 31 and panels 40, as shown in the FIG. 18, thus preventing the collision between the free turning rollers 36 and the protection of the lower edge of the cathodes 42.
  • the retraction of the cylinders 37 and 41 next takes place, freeing the electro-deposited layers 43 which fall through the bracket onto the dampening mechanism of the receiving conveyor belt 17 (FIG. 1).
  • the cathodes are subject to a washing operation at the cathode reception area 1, and the electro-deposited metal layers on the cathodes are taken off by a continuous extraction process using the claws 35.
  • the facility of the present invention prevents any damage to the cathode plate 42, because of the free turning rollers 36 which are mounted on the same turning axis as the claws 35, and because of the plastic protection devices 45 that is disposed oh the claws 35.
  • the modular construction of the facility described allows the arrangement, as required, of two or more treatment areas, each one of them with their corresponding washing and extraction means.
